| Summary: | If a project is to be successfully completed,
both planning and execution must be properly
implemented. Poor planning will not allow
appropriate execution and control processes
or achievement of the project’s targets. The
objective of the study reported in this paper
is to evaluate the impact of the project manager on the quality of project planning processes
within the nine knowledge areas defined by
A Guide to the Project Management Body of
Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and to determine
ways of increasing the effectiveness of the
manager’s intervention. Participants in the
study evaluated their use of the 21 processes
that relate to planning, out of the 39 processes required for proper project management.
The results of the study reveal risk management and communications as the processes
with the lowest planning quality. Poor quality in
these areas results when project managers lack
the formal tools and techniques for dealing with
communications and the functional managers
are not equipped with the tools and techniques
that will allow them to effectively contribute to
the risk management process. Improving quality
planning processes requires the development
of new tools in areas such as communications,
as well as organizational training programs
designed for the functional managers. |
